Sign, "Do Not Disturb!" 1958-1962
01
Artifact Overview
Most weary travelers want peace and quiet when staying at a hotel, motel or inn. Guests in the mid-20th century -- just like today -- found a sign in their room to help make their stay pleasant and restful. Hanging the sign outside on the door alerted staff to be quiet and not enter. This simple sign says it all "Do Not Disturb."
